Chapter 170: Threading the Needle

On the seventh day of the seventh month, each family set up an offering table in the courtyard according to custom, inserted incense and candles, placed tributes, and burned incense and worshiped in the direction of Vega. The smell of incense and candles wafted over Lin'an City for a long time, and lanterns were hung in the courtyards of every house, creating a lively atmosphere.

The big family is especially good, Xiu Yuanshuang is the eldest daughter at home, and she has also been in charge of begging Qiao, this is the first time she has presided over such a thing since she got married, and she is very determined to make a show, which makes the prince of Chu impressed.

Murong Mian gave grace to the red and green lotus, and asked them to go to the backyard to beg with the three princesses. The five men knelt on the futon, clasped their hands together and their eyes slightly closed, and made a wish to the moon god and Vega.

Bai Qianfan knelt behind Xiu Yuanshuang's left, his small body was straight, under the moonlight, his pointed chin was slightly raised, and his whole face was like a celadon of Junyao, plated with a halo.

Murong Mian stood behind the tree, staring at her for a moment, as if she had lost her mind, half a sound, she moved, her body knelt down, he woke up like a dream, laughed at himself, fascinated for a little girl, spread out, his reputation was ruined, but so what, he just rare her, just like her, if she bent her eyebrows and eyes to say a few words to him, keep the moon in the sky, he will order someone to pick it.

Bai Qianfan closed her eyes and made a wish, one begged for peace, and the people she cared about begged all over again, and second, like all the big girls, begged the moon god to match a good husband, her in-laws hurt, her husband loves, no one wants to harm her, kill her, give birth to two children in two years, make up a good word, in this life, she has nothing else to beg.

After worshipping God, Xiu Yuanshuang shouted, and said with a smile: "The moonlight is good today, let's thread the needle, in fact, it is not comparable, I know in my heart, it is the green lotus girl who takes the lead." ”

Lu He said modestly: "The side princess really looks up to the slave maid, the slave maid only does more needlework on weekdays, if you really want to talk about it, I think the side princess and the princess are ingenious." ”

Bai Qianfan was a little dissatisfied when she saw that Green Lotus didn't mention her, and muttered: "Sister Green Lotus thinks I'm not ingenious, I will pinch clay figures." ”

The green lotus pouted, "The princess has it, embroider a purse, and pierce ten fingers full of holes, which makes the prince feel very distressed." ”

Bai Qianfan was poked in the short spot and smiled wryly, "It's a pity that it's not a clay man today, otherwise I will definitely win." ”

Xiu Yuanshuang heard that sentence: The prince was very distressed, his face darkened, and soon returned to normal, and asked the maids to bring up the needle and thread, divide each of them, and thread the needle and thread it against the moonlight.

This kind of needle is smaller than the usual embroidery needle, the eye of the needle is thinner, it takes a lot of eyes to thread the needle under the lamp, and under the moonlight, everything is hazy, but you have to pay full attention and hold your breath.

Bai Qianfan held a needle in one hand and a thread in the other, his fingers trembled slightly, and he couldn't be right for a long time, so he listened to Yahuan report on the side: "The green lotus girl enters the line twice, the side princess enters the line, and the red girl enters the line......"

No matter who it is, if you thread a thread, Yahuan has to sing, Bai Qianfan became more and more upset, her strength was too strong, and she stabbed her finger hard, and she snorted in pain.

Yuexiang Yuegui on the side hurriedly stepped forward, and before they could make a move, a tall figure stopped in front of them, and grabbed the injured finger with his mouth.

Bai Qianfan, "......"

Xiu Yuanshuang, "......"

Gu Qingdie, "......"

Crimson and Green Lotus looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.

Bai Qianfan sighed, "Lord Wang, I didn't wash my hands when I touched the ground just now." ”

Murong Mian's face was slightly red, but fortunately he couldn't see clearly when it was dark, the tip of his tongue twisted around that finger, and then he let go, and deliberately said roughly, "The purse is embroidered so much, I thought you had grown, look at it, you got it again, forget it, you are not that ingenious person, don't wear it." As he spoke, he took his finger and looked carefully in the moonlight, and saw that Bai Xi's fingertips were a little red, and the bleeding had stopped, so he must be fine.

Xiu Yuanshuang's heart jumped suddenly, is this treating Bai Qianfan as a sister? How can you be a brother to a girl like this? Wouldn't you be laughing and generous!

Gu Qingdie looked at Murong Mian, glanced at Xiu Yuanshuang again, lowered her eyes, there was no expression on her face, the horizontal and vertical had nothing to do with her, it was best for the prince to do something out of the ordinary, which provoked Xiu Yuanshuang to move, she was so good to sit back and enjoy it, anyway, she didn't blush in the position of the princess, so she wanted to get a side princess.

At this moment, Lu Lotus had already worn seven colored threads in one go, Crimson and Xiu Yuanshuang each wore six, Gu Qingdie wore five, and Bai Qianfan was still a zero, she was not convinced, thinking that no matter what, she would be able to wear one into it.

Murong Mian saw her pinching the needle again and stopped her, "Disobedient, don't wear it, you're not that material." ”

Bai Qianfan was a little frustrated, "Lord Wang, I also want to beg for a trick and be a clever person in the future." ”

She always made him amused, "Who said you weren't smart?" In the eyes of this king, the princess is a first-class clever person! ”

Bai Qianfan didn't appreciate it: "What the prince said doesn't count, I have to wear it myself, don't say too much, I can wear one anyway." ”

At this time, everyone was dressed, and because of Mo Rongmian's presence, they didn't dare to say much, and stood quietly, waiting for the prince and the princess to discuss.

Murong Mian couldn't resist Bai Qianfan, thought for a while and said, "How about this king dress for you?" ”

Bai Qianfan glanced at him, "Can the prince eat for me?" ”

Murong Mian was so scared by her that her old face turned red, and she couldn't help but be angry, she was thinking about her good, the little girl didn't appreciate it, he didn't stop it, and looked at her with his hands down, "Okay, you wear it, and you deserve it if you tie it again." ”

Bai Qianfan gritted his teeth, twisted the two delicate breaths, squinted at the small pinhole, the red silk thread approached little by little, lingered at the entrance of the cave a few times, and slowly passed through. She still didn't dare to let go, so she changed her hand to the other end to pick it up, pulled it down, and exhaled the breath she was holding, full of joy, and showed it to Murong Mian: "Lord, I've passed through." ”

As soon as she smiled, a trace of resentment from the prince of Chu disappeared without a trace, and he looked at her with a smile, "Well, yes, this king has a reward, what do you want?" ”

Bai Qianfan seemed to be stunned for a moment: "The prince is wrong, Sister Green Lotus should be rewarded, she has taken the lead." ”

Murong Mian smiled and said, "Both are rewarded, one is the first and the other is the last, although you only wear one thread, but this strength of not admitting defeat is worthy of appreciation, say, what do you want?" ”

Bai Qianfan tilted his head and thought for a long time, "I can't think of it for the time being, why don't you remember it first, and then tell the prince when I think about it." ”

Murong Mian rubbed her head amusedly, "Cheng, remember first, there are so many people who testify for you, and you can't rely on this king." After a pause, he said, "As for the green lotus, the reward is ten taels of silver." ”

Hearing the crowd of maids, Rao is a big girl ring like Green Lotus, and the monthly silver is only one tael, and now the prince is ten taels in one mouth, which is almost worth her monthly example for a year.

The green lotus hurriedly knelt down to thank him, but he knew in his heart that this was the blessing of Bai Qianfan, in front of the princess, the prince of Chu was deliberately full of anger!
